I don't understand one thing though... I mean, you're MAKING this flash file, so why don't you just have the color in the flash file selected by a global variable you set in RR ? That's what "setflashvar" is for... "SETFLASHVAR;COLOR;2"

then use:

if (_root.COLOR == "2") {
<COMMANDS TO CHANGE THE COLOR/FRAME etc>
}

That's coming from someone who knows nothing about flash.. and again that's only useful if there's no special reason why you're using keystrokes to get the job done.

Here you go Chuck, hope this is what you were looking for.

But if you test it within the flash ide, make sure you select "Disable Keyboard Shortcuts" from the "Control" menu in the swf preview, or else is won't work.

Will this work with an flash.exe?

Kembond thanks a bunch

Works good but every time the time or date changes the color goes back to the startup color
